Happy National Doughnut Day?
{darlings, this doughnut day business does me no good}



Bathing suit weather is upon us....
and after celebrations and BBQs galore last weekend,
even my white skinny jeans are intimidating me.


 So, here's some much needed "thinspiration" from Uncle Karl!

What's motivating you this weekend?

I don't know if I needed to know it is national donut day. Morning sickness is pretty much a thing of the past and while I am not yet up to my pre-pregnancy weight...I will be soon as every mention of food seems to cause a craving these days! Have a great weekend!

Actually, I like this quote from Karl, it's hilarious and true at the same time. I love the picture above. It reminds me of the burgers at Hotel Costes in Paris. Have a nice day;-)

LifestyleBohemia said...

That quote & ad are hysterical. I'll have to pass on the donut since it's bathing suit season.
Have a lovely weekend!

Café Bellini said...

Love the picture and the quote - how true! Have a fab weekend!

Hamptontoes said...

I've never seen this ad...it is funny and his quote rings some truth! Have a great weekend!

Debby Lee said...

Love the ad! So cute. xo

Chic Therapy said...

I agree with Karl L...lol

Erika ~TiptoeButterfly~ said...

Who but Chanel could make McDonald's chic? SO not going for the donuts today!

Privet and Holly said...

What's motivating me is having enough energy to DO everything that I want to in my days! I try to eat nutritiously in order to fuel my brain and body, both of which are going full-blast most of the time. No donuts for me today, although I love a good French cruller once in a blue moon! And I do love McD's fries, as well. Now, if Mr. KL could just get them to change the packaging....! Have a wonderful weekend!

Krystal said...

chanel french fries?! haha...that kills me :)

paula said...

National donuts day? This will be a good day then, but no help with my eating healthy routine. oh well.

sara said...

I heard about National Doughnut Day on the news this morning - Krispy Kreme is handing out free doughnuts all day, I'll be surprised if there aren't hundreds of traffic jams alla cross the country! Chanel packaging for Big Macs and fries? Genius!

Cara said...

Oh Uncle Karl, your always right...just what I needed to hear to kick it into gear...
On my way to run my butt off at the gym :)

Jaime @ La vie...J'aime said...

I love your weekly Chanel shout out. So funny that it's national donut day lol

Happy Friday!!!

Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi said...

I think this quote is very true! I have a ton of weddings this year so that's some inspiration, to look good in my dresses.

Kim@Chattafabulous said...

I guess I'll be skipping the Big Mac for lunch today! Great to see this emotion (guilt) displayed so beautifully.

~*~ saskia ~*~ said...

Oh my, must eat those {every day}.
Wishing you a great weekend with lot and lots of sunshine! xx

Cashon&Co said...

When I look at Karl lately I can't help but think that he took his own words to the extreme! I am trying to shed the 14 pounds I put on at the holidays.... Still... And the words that always help me through it is the old saying "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels".... I repeat this mantra over and over in my head while my boys eat their glazed donuts every week.... Hahahah

Renée said...

Hihi, love this quote!

Leah said...

Note to self most go on a diet! This quote is so cute! Happy Friday!

Krysten @ After 'I Do' said...

I totally did not need to know it's donut day... now I want one!

McKenzie said...

Mmm National Donut Day?? Diet starts Monday.. :)

lisaroy said...

yup, nothing like a good glazed donut! but I think i'll need to remember the quote instead! maybe I should post it on my fridge! : )

Dancing Branflake said...

Seriously, I never thought Memorial Day could be so hazardous to my waistline. It's a little ridiculous.

Happy Donut Day!

pretty pink tulips said...

Have they called yet? The Chanel PR department? I will ask every Friday! (:

Not fries or doughnuts here! This blogging adventure is turning me into a fat cat! And I have to look good for my upcoming Sweden trip!

Happy weekend to you, happy girl!

ox, Mon

Katie Lynn said...

Oh-my-goodness, I love that quotation! Sooo true, too. I'm on day three of the South Beach Diet right now; doing it with a friend so we can keep ourselves motivated. :) No carbs or sugar for the first two weeks is torturous, though!

rosiecampbell said...

Great ad! I am going to do my best to ignore national donut day. Why couldn't it be in February?

Kendall said...

I've been absent from the blog world for a couple of days and I'm enjoying catching up on all of your good stuff!!

Susie @ Maddie's Nest said...

Just thought I would report that after dropping my daughter off for a playdate this AM and en route to a meeting I had to stop at a Dunkin Donuts.....where they happened to give me a free donut. Who knew.....thanks a heap for putting this idea in my pregnant brain!

drollgirl said...

GAH!!! that big mac and fries look DELICIOUS!

i ate way too much last weekend, and then way too much this week. ack! ACK! i guess i should start eating healthy soon. maybe monday? ahhahaha

hope you have a fab weekend!

Poppies and Sunshine said...

Great quote :) I am feeling uninspired lately, so I am not sure what is motivating me! I think a good shopping trip to the mall might help...

Maggie said...

Food is not just necessity but pleasure, so it's vital as long as you know where to draw the line.Balance!The most difficult target in life in all aspects!

Le Sigh of a Fashionista said...

I need some motivation. This week has been a bad week for my healthy eating, swimsuit body ready progress. Le sigh.

French-Kissed said...

I went cold turkey on fast food, doughnuts etc about 15 years ago and don't miss them at all. All one has to do is break the addiction and then we are home free!

~jermaine~

Heavenly Housewife said...

Ah, you are so good. I find it so hard to resist a delicious donut. Krispy Kreme is my kryptonite LOL.
Have a wonderful weekend.
*kisses* HH

Pop Champagne said...

haha you know now that i think about it that's true! a lot of high end designer don't make sizes for plus sized and their models always look so thin and slender!

NYC, Style and a little Cannoli said...

great ad and quote but being a foodie makes it somewhat difficult!!

shari @ little blue deer said...

Oh so cool, Sue! This is one of my favorites you've posted! I'm with you, need to lose about 5 pounds before the white ANYTHING comes out of the closet! XO!

The Shiny Pebble said...

I heard that people don't want to eat as much in the Summer because of the heat... I must not be "people".

Lisa Lisa Lisa said...

Carol@TheDesignPages said...

Well said Uncle Karl. Isn't it great how Chanel looks good on everything including McD's
Love your reader's comment that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". I need some motivation right now for the bikini summer and that just might be it.
